you will need to drop the fork legs out of the front forks. then you will need to take the snap ring out ( at the top inner of the fork you just pulled out ) to be able to remove the oil cap.
you might first ,,, drain the old oil out ( if any is left in there ) by the little bolt at the bottom rear of the forks.
about 3 ounces of tranny fluid should be what's needed to re-fill.
just like my big red ,,, a real pain in the butt.
